Ah, but there’s the rub: Are you ready to vote all of your benefits away?
The largest portion of our current government funding goes to pay entitlements ... social security and medicare / medicaid. Are you willing to do without that?
As you may proudly proclaim that we should cut “other things”, so is everyone else. The bottom line is that we all think we should cut the “other person’s program” —that’s politics.
I find that as I get older and closer to social security, I , too, want to “keep mine” even though I know full-well that the “Social Security Trust Fund” has always been a con. Social Security has been a Ponzi scheme from Day 1, and the money taxed today pays for today’s retirees.
I don’t get any. Social Security will be gone by the time I get there. Medicare/Medicaid will be gone. I have a 401(K). Never been on any form of welfare. Provide for myself. Not judging though, just stating facts. I just don’t see why the government should be involved in affairs of personal responsibility.

One of the largest entitlements is government K=12 education.
No, actually, I tend to vote against my interests almost always... I vote as if I was voting for the Constitution! It is much easier that way...
The problem is that both parties seem to be against the Constitution in so many ways that it makes it impossible to pick a candidate. Of course the Democrats have never won that battle, but the Republicans have only won by default.
So...what’s a voter to do...
